g1 puffy holographic stickers

anyone have any info on these. i remember having gears, and laserbeak but i'm sure there are others. i've looked on ebay and haven't ever seen them. who made them, how many were in the set, and how rare are these? where can you find them at?

I vaguely recall them just being on a sheet that my parents bought for me from the grocery store, or something to that effect. They were not a pack-in, I believe, just one of the misc items like the bed sheet set and cups and plates for birthday parties.

There are 4 sets. The first one is a deluxe set that comes with a little book to put the stickers in.

These things use to be VERY common as they were sold in just about every store on the planet. (ok i exagerate slightly) but now they are very hard to find mostly due to kids using them on lunch boxes, book bags, and the TF carrying cases.

Like I did. I had pretty much all of them I think. Doesn't everybody go through a sticker phase? These were, if not the ZOMG Coolest Thing Ever, certainly The Best Stickers Ever...too bad I dunno where the heck they all went.

I believe this is the book that Hiro Prime is talking about. There were spots in the book that you placed the stickers and it did a mini-bio of the character. You can see one of the stickers on top.

Whoa. That one got played with a lot. Mine's in pristine shape compared with that one. My brother gave me his. His loss.

Only thing about those stickers is that they weren't exactly "switchable" as advertised. If you tried pulling them up more than once, the top piece would start splitting away from the bottom. They were cool back then though, esp. with the 3D look. I get a burst of nostalgia every time I see them. Or maybe it's just my acid reflux acting up.

And to answer wolfybulfy's question -- I bought a couple of those sticker sets on clearance at Waldenbooks a couple years ago and gave most of them to my nephews. I kept all the Autobot/Decepticon logos to use on some of my G1 collection where the original stickers were rubbed off or missing. I thought it was a really nice sticker collection overall -- all stock G1 Hasbro toy-looking images mostly. I wouldn't have paid $13+ shipping for it, but that's just me.

I'd tell you how much I paid for the sets I bought, but you'd probably hate me for it.

I have a huge excess lot of the original TFTM movie stickers if anyone's interested. But no mint unopened packs, sorry -- because my brother and I opened them all looking for some of the rarer ones. And wow did we get a huge bargain on them. Found THREE BOXES still sealed for about a dollar a piece at a discount grocery store.

a COUPLE years ago? i got mine in 1984. do you literally mean a couple years ago, or are we talking about 10 or 15 years?

Literallly bought mine a couple years ago -- brand new. But I believe they were from the same company who made the TF Energon calendars.

Sorry, the nephews probably threw away the original packaging, so I don't have any other details on them. The set looked the same as the one in your ebay pic though, and that's definitely recent because it has Hasbro's new logo on the back of the box.
